Rob and Dean on LIFE Costumes

Love these photos of Rob and Dean on the streets of Toronto. Really loving the long coats Dean has on. Rob just looks so wonderful in these period suits and over coats. Ok, so the hair looks good too. Its definitely lightening up as the movie is filmed. But doesnt Deans hair look a lot like early Edward from Twilight? More from Tom and Lorenzo.

Robert Pattinson, playing Life photographer Dennis Stock, and Dane DeHaan, dressed up as James Dean, film scenes for ‘Life’ in Toronto.

We liked the idea of casting Dane DeHaan as James Dean. Too often, when actors are cast to play him, it’s because they’re sexy and square-jawed and pouty-lipped (i.e., James Franco); all of which was true about Dean’s looks. But we always felt that no actor had ever quite captured his fragility, youth and smallness, which were the sides of him you saw in pictures taken before his movie career. Hollywood polished him up and turned him into a leading man, but in the days when he was a struggling New York actor his look was quite a bit darker and slightly seedier. We thought DeHaan might have been able to tap into that, but we are SO not seeing James Dean in these shots, to our disappointment. Maybe he looks better on film.
